Choreographer-turned-director Remo D’Souza comes up with a full-fledged dance film ‘ABCD’ which also happens to be India’s first 3D dance film. While Bollywood is known for its song-n-dance, dance films have not been a popular genre per se. We list down some of the most popular dance films in Bollywood over the years.

Mithun Chakravarthy in a silver shining outfit danced his way to glory and made a brand of himself as a dancing hero in what may be called as one of the most popular dance films in Bollywood – Disco Dancer.

V Shantaram’s Navrang made way back in 1959 had some of the best dancing pieces from ‘Ja Re Hut Nathak’ where Sandhya danced as both male and female or another kathak performance where she balances 10 pots on her head while dancing.

Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was a love story on the backdrop of a dance competition. Shah Rukh Khan plays a character averse to the idea of dancing and Anushka Sharma trains him to be a pro at it.

Sudha Chandran’s biographical film Naache Mayuri had her showing her best dancing skills despite all hurdles.

When it comes to dancing, how can one forget Madhuri Dixit? Her comeback film Aaja Nachle was primarily about a dance competition and celebrated the art of dancing to its best.

Yash Chopra’s Dil To Pagal Hai was largely about Shah Rukh Khan’s troupe giving their best dance performances. And with Madhuri Dixit on one side and Karisma Kapoor on the other, he just had a winner at hands.

Chance Pe Dance was based on a dancing reality show and with Shahid Kapoor as the male lead, the dancing acts were just perfect in the film. Wish we could say the same about the script.

Ram Gopal Varma celebrated the dancing form in his film Naach where Antra Mali played a struggling choreographer trying to get a hold in Bollywood industry.

Dance Dance was a follow-up to the hit Disco Dancer with Mithun Chakravarthy and director B. Subhash teaming up once again for a full-fledged dance film. Smita Patil known for her roles in offbeat films was kinda out of place in this masala potboiler.

One of Akshay Kumar’s earliest films went by the name of Dancer where he played a dancer and showed some flashy dance steps.
